{{Neuron map|Axon terminal}}An '''axon terminal''' (also called synaptic bouton) is the far end of the branches of an [[axon]].  It is a component of a nerve cell ([[neuron]]).  An axon nerve fiber is a long, slender projection of a neuron that conducts electrical impulses  away from the neuron's cell body ([[soma]]), in order to transmit those impulses to other neurons.
